Canada Global Talent Stream Updated

Canada Global Talent Stream Updated

The Government of Canada has updated the list of Occupations that are eligible under its popular Global Talent Stream. Engineering managers & architecture and Science managers were removed.
Employment and Social Development Canada(ESDC), the federal ministry responsible for processing applications to the Global Talent Stream, said the update was necessary to ensure the list continues to reflect the Canadian labour market and the needs of innovative companies.
The Global Talent Stream provides Canadian Employers in the field of Information technology and Science Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) with easier access to temporary foreign workers with experience in the listed occupations.
Canadian employers have used the stream to hire approximately 24,000 highly skilled foreign workers since it’s launch in 2017 as a two-year pilot program.
The Global Talent Stream was made permanent in March 2019.
